Mike Plume... Saw Slash Naked

Mike Plume... Saw Slash Naked

Looking back on friendships, I have come to the conclusion that I have left far too much time between checking in a catching up with dear friends. Shit happens and life gets in the way of stuff...but don't let too much time go by without reconnecting with your pals. In this episode of the Reluctantly Podcast, I reconnect with musician Mike Plume for a four-month checkup. It's been four months since Mike was my first podcast guest.. He also has a Canadian Prairies Tour coming up that you should go see. We discuss various topics, including reflections on music documentaries, the evolution of podcasting, memorable encounters in the music industry, and the vibrant Canadian music scene. Plume shares stories from his career, including a hilarious encounter at the U.S. border and a memorable night with Slash. The conversation wraps up with details about Plume's upcoming tour and the excitement of sharing stories and songs with audiences.
